First published in 1901 in New Orleans, this book is widely credited with preserving the rich tradition of Creole cooking. At that time the Picayune, a New Orleans newspaper, was determined to save the local cuisine and collected it directly from the cooks and housekeepers who were the first practitioners of the Creole tradition. This book was published to assist housekeepers generally so they could set a dainty and appetizing table at a moderate outlay, to give recipes clearly and accurately with simplicity and exactness and maintain the recipes blend of the fantastic array of influences from French style and Spanish spices to African fruits and Indian gumbos. The recipe list includes classics such as seafoods, gumbos, cakes and pastries, jambalayas, and fruit drinks, along with many other delectable dishes. With its fascinating historical origins and delicious authentic recipes, this book is truly the bible of the rich Louisiana culinary tradition.
